🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world
Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info.
This goes way beyond what was previously known.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

This story should dominate the news cycle for a while, but that won't happen on its own.
Democrats have got to keep asking the big questions:
-- Why were they making war plans on a third-party app?
-- What other plans have been mishandled this way?
-- What vulnerabilities are exposed in all this?

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

When Trump’s recession hits — not if but when — he’ll blame Biden and the mainstream media, which he’ll call the “lamestream media” or the “enemy of the people.” You can take that to the bank.
